Building the environment

Build an Ubuntu 12.04 system.

Install a ubuntu-based linux server with openssh-server enabled. The rest of the packages and dependencies will be installed automatically by puppet. We are in the process of providing a Virtual Machine (VM) to be used as build node but in thge meantime you will need to install your own build server manually.

Add the necessary packages to have puppet running and cisco edition enabled

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

Note: The system will need to be restarted after applying the updates.

you will still need to log into the console of the control node to load in an image: user: localadmin, password: ubuntu. If you SU to root, there is an openrc auth file in root’s home directory, and you can launch a test file in /tmp/nova_test.sh.

You should now have a cirros image and a running instance (called dans_vm if you didn’t change anything).
